How to increase apache timeout directive in .htaccess?
This solution is for Litespeed Server (Apache as well)
Add the following code in .htaccess
RewriteRule .* - [E=noabort:1]
RewriteRule .* - [E=noconntimeout:1]
Litespeed reference
Just in case this helps anyone else:
If you're going to be adding the TimeOut directive, and your website uses multiple vhosts (eg. one for port 80, one for port 443), then don't forget to add the directive to all of them!
if you have long processing server side code, I don't think it does fall into 404 as you said ("it goes to a webpage is not found error page")
Browser should report request timeout error.
You may do 2 things:
Based on CGI/Server side engine increase timeout there
PHP : http://www.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-execution-time - default is 30 seconds
In php.ini:
max_execution_time 60
Increase apache timeout - default is 300 (in version 2.4 it is 60).
In your httpd.conf (in server config or vhost config)
TimeOut 600
Note that first setting allows your PHP script to run longer, it will not interferre with network timeout.
Second setting modify maximum amount of time the server will wait for certain events before failing a request
Sorry, I'm not sure if you are using PHP as server side processing, but if you provide more info I will be more accurate.
